Summary

What do interdimensional beings and the freakiest game of evolutionary Jenga have in common? Absolutely nothing—except they’re both on today’s episode of The Box of Oddities! First, we plunge headfirst into the psychedelic rabbit hole of DMT and the Machine Elves—the eerie, hyper-intelligent entities that thousands claim to encounter during their otherworldly trips. Are they hallucinations, cosmic tricksters, or proof we live in a simulation? (Or all of the above?) Then, we crane our necks (pun absolutely intended) to explore the bizarre, twisty-turny story of neck evolution. From giraffes to humans to a particular dinosaur that took things way too far, we break down why necks are basically nature’s weirdest flex. Get ready for mind-melting mysteries and evolutionary oddities—because reality is way stranger than fiction.
